Thats super lucky because I believe all super markets have stopped taking new customers.
I work for one of them, and we are about to enter a design sprint to try and solve the problem of getting food and supplies to the most vulnerable.
Demands are Xmas season level atm and this week is going to be a tough one resource and supply wise.
Worth mentioning: Nothing has actually changed supply chain or availability wise the shortages are caused by people stockpiling, because they are being asked to stay in doors for a few weeks. So if everyone acted with a little bit of decorum this issue could be avoided, but you know, people...

That's reassuring to hear from the inside, do you foresee any reason this could change?

Thank goodness!
(Hatred of wanky IT terms aside, it's good to see supermarkets are looking to do something about this.)
I remember the bad weather around Christmas 2009 when supermarkets were unable to do all of their deliveries. We got ours after a few phone calls but it was mostly due to my wife being almost 9 months pregnant.
After this has all eventually blown over I hope supermarkets will also do enough data mining to work out which of its customers were utter utter cunts during this time. (Either determining stockpiling or landgrabbing delivery slots.) They can be punished with targeted special offers for odd items or items they probably have cupboards full of already.

Have been asking my dad to register for online shopping for a few days.
Had another stern conversation with him earlier. It’s just so if it comes to it he has the option and is prepared. I am assuming things will calm down and in due course people won’t be needing to book slots weeks in advance
Getting his email just now to say he has registered successfully was a huge relief.
